ANDREA SAWATZKI - "Woanders ist es auch nicht ruhiger" - Live Reading

Andrea Sawatzki brings her "Bundschuh family" to Ahlen.

Andrea Sawatzki is one of Germany's most beloved film and television actresses - and she has made a name for herself as an author too. Her books regularly appear on bestseller lists, and ZDF has adapted the entire "Familie Bundschuh" series for television, with Sawatzki and Axel Milberg in the lead roles. On 26 September she comes to Stadthalle Ahlen for a live reading from "Woanders ist es auch nicht ruhiger".

The story: Gundula is furious! Why is she always the last to know? And this is no small matter - her beloved husband Gerald has decided to sell their lovely house on Rotkehlchenweg and move the whole family to the countryside. That means both grandmothers and the delightful sister-in-law Rose in tow. One thing becomes clear fast: moving out is easy. Settling into rural life is anything but...

Few writers capture the absurdity of German family life as sharply as Andrea Sawatzki. Her novels blend comic situations with an uncanny sense of real life. See her perform live - she doesn't just read, she inhabits every character, complete with all their regional accents. After the reading she will be available for autographs.
